I hate this storyline but I admire how Debbie is trying to do anything for her baby like any other mother would do
I like the addressing of the issue but Debbie is in overdrive without thinking clearly - understandablyQuote:

Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher has admitted that his character Andy Sugden is "shocked" by Debbie Dingle's next idea to save their ill daughter Sarah.
Debbie (Charley Webb) will soon tell Andy that they should try to conceive a child the natural way as part of their ongoing saviour sibling storyline.
The pair have already pursued other ways of having a child together for Sarah's sake, but the latest plan will prove to be the most shocking yet for their respective partners Alicia Gallagher (Natalie Anderson) and Cameron Murray (Dominic Power).
Fletcher told Soaplife of Debbie's suggestion: "Andy thinks it's a wind up. When he realises it's not, he's extremely shocked she's even mentioning such a thing. Apart from anything else, Andy can't see how Cameron and Alicia would accept it.
"He's very concerned about telling Alicia. He nearly lost her over the whole artificial insemination baby thing, so he's bound to lose her over this."
Confirming that a stunned Alicia soon decides to leave Andy, the actor continued: "He's hurt, but at the same time he knows he must do all he can to help Sarah. He's definitely willing to sacrifice his relationship for his daughter. He'll do whatever it takes, and if that means him losing everything around him, he's prepared for that to happen."
Fletcher added that Andy does not consider the possibility he could develop feelings for Debbie as a result of the plan.
"He's not anticipating that he will. He's a man - he can do sex without emotions," he explained. "But then things like that happen without you expecting them."
Emmerdale launched the saviour sibling storyline in October.
Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher has admitted that he feels torn over where Andy, Debbie and Cameron's storyline should go next.
Debbie (Charley Webb) is currently in a serious relationship with Cameron (Dominic Power), but is desperate for a saviour baby with Andy to help their daughter Sarah, who is seriously ill.
Next week's episodes see Debbie and Andy sleep together as part of the plan - leaving Andy with reignited feelings for his ex.
Speaking to All About Soap about whether an Andy and Debbie reunion could be on the cards, Fletcher explained: "I love working with Charley Webb, so selfishly, as an actor, I think Andy and Debbie would be a great couple. But as a viewer, I'd hate to see Debbie walk out on Cameron, because he's a good guy."
Debbie and Andy decide not to tell anyone that they went through with having sex, but Fletcher added that it may not stay secret for long.
"If Andy grows more jealous of Cameron, he might decide to use this knowledge as ammunition," he explained.
"Andy's starting to believe Debbie likes him and he thinks Cameron has a right to know that, but he isn't vindictive enough to use it at the moment - although when you want something badly enough, you resort to extreme measures."
Emmerdale continues on Monday at 7pm on ITV1.
EMMERDALE bosses have done a U-turn over plans to kill off little Sarah Sugden in one of the soap’s biggest ever tear-jerkers.
The youngster has been battling a rare genetic disorder for the last few months and needs a bone marrow transplant.
So mum Debbie Dingle, played by Charley Webb, 23, seduces Sarah’s dad Andy Sugden in the hope of having a donor baby.
It was planned for Sarah to die because the new tot is not a match but soap bosses decided it would be too upsetting for fans and have now changed the plot.
Debbie’s new baby, which will be conceived during secret sex sessions with her ex-lover Andy, will be born later this spring.
Sarah, played by seven-year-old Sophia Amber Moore, will have to wait to discover if the bone marrow is a match.
Viewers will this week see Debbie seduce Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) after luring him to a hotel room.
She will then announce she is expecting the baby she needs next month.
An Emmerdale insider said: “This was going to be one of the biggest and saddest storylines the soap world has ever seen. The plan was for Debbie to have the baby but, in a cruel twist of fate, it wasn’t going to be a match to save Sarah and the youngster was going to die.
“After much discussion, it was felt this would have been just too horrendous so they did a U-turn. The storyline is still being worked out but Sarah will not be killed off.”
An Emmerdale spokesman said: “It is not the case that the changes have been made to this storyline.”
Will be born later this spring?
Hang on......thats not nine months later!
Maybe she pregnant already but does not realise?
In which case the baby would not be AndysQuote:
